Yokai Attack!: The Japanese Monster Survival Guide
Author(s): Hiroko Yoda, Matt Alt
Forget Godzilla. Forget the giant beasties karate-chopped into oblivion by endless incarnations of Ultraman, Kamen Rider, and the Power Rangers. Forget the Pocket Monsters. Forget Sadako from 'The Ring' and that creepy all-white kid from 'The Grudge.' Forget everything you know about tales of terror before reaching for this book. "Yokai Attack!" is a nightmare-inducing one-stop guide to Japan's traditional creepy-crawlies and monsters. It will surely convince you that Japan's tradition of fascinating monsters is a long one--yet far from being history.
Product Information
"Funny, scary and informative, Yokai Attack! is a must-have, must-read for anyone interested in Asian culture and MONSTERS. What a combo! It will have a place of honor on my shelf between Chariots of the Gods and The Zombie Survival Guide. Great stuff. Great fun! "Steve Niles, Creator, 30 Days of Night" Yokai Attack is a field guide, of sorts, for the unwary traveler intent on avoiding these beasties or at least identifying them before they pounce.
